Shawndee Airedales

About us

We have been loving, raising and showing Airedales for over 50 years. We have bred other terriers , most notably Wire Fox Terriers and Cairns. Currently we co-breed Russell Terriers with Denise Adrian-Cavers, under the kennel names, Shawndee and Adrian. We are truly terrier fans and travel to Specialties in the U.S. to compare our terriers to the best being shown.
Our puppies are raised in the house, with their area overlooking the kitchen. They are well socialized to household noises, and children, as my 8 year old grandson lives with me and is an active participant.

We spend a lot of time evaluating puppies to ensure we help choose the right puppy for each home. Our puppies go on to be family pets, show dogs and performance dogs. It is important that the correct temperament is chosen, to ensure both puppy, and family, are happy.

Our Airedales have their hips and elbows evaluated by OFA before being considered for breeding. They are shown to their Championship in Canada, and often the USA to ensure their conformation fits the standard. Excellent temperament and health have always been foremost in our breeding stock.

 

We are available to you for guidance for the life of your puppy, and if for any reason you cannot keep your Shawndee terrier, we want you to return her/him to us.
